Virtual Influencers like Noonoouri: Producer, Image and Artificial Intelligence

Virtual influencers are the latest trend in the fashion business and also in the social media industry. But what are digital personalities all about? Where do they come from, how are they created and who actually brings these characters to life again and again? We’ll let you dive into the making of Noonoouri here and introduce you to their creator. You’ll also learn what makes virtual models and characters so special and what makes CGI and animation so special.

Man or Robot: What makes CGI stand out?

By now, the world of CGI models is a lot bigger than it was a few years ago. So how does Noonoouri stand out from other avatars? Noonoouri is three-dimensional, but she doesn’t play around the ‘Uncanny Valley’. The young model is too far removed from human proportions to be mistaken for a real person.

However, with her rather unrealistic facial features, she stands out. Many virtual influencers aim to look like a real person. Noonoouri stands out from the crowd because, on closer inspection, she is clearly CGI and more reminiscent of comics and manga like Bratz.

Creator behind the machine: Joerg Zuber

Joerg Zuber is a graphic designer from Munich and is behind the anime-inspired influencer. At the end of 2017, he started to translate his years-long vision into reality. Already at a young age he was fascinated by the fashion industry and the polished world as presented in fashion magazines.

This fascination gave rise to the idea for an animation that fuses virtuality and reality. Zuber decided to go the way of surreality instead of a photorealistic animation. This circumstance leads to a further blurring of the boundaries between virtuality and reality and also raises the question of when virtuality begins at all, when even real models are retouched with the help of computer technology and more and more possibilities for photo and video manipulation emerge. Human and virtual models are therefore at two different ends of the spectrum.

Interview with Joerg Zuber: Video

The creator of the character Noonoouri has very specific goals and themes in mind, which he would like to convey with Noonoouri to a wider audience. Noonoouri should not only fascinate, but above all open people’s eyes to social problems. The model is not only an animation, she is a personality. For example, Noonoouri eats a vegan diet, supports the BLM movement and wants to give a voice to those who are rarely lent an ear.
